Loan Star Pawn - Venice S Tamiami Trl, Venice

The sales staff at the Venice location know nothing about the jewelry, no details on the diamonds at all. How can you justify pricing your diamond rings at such high prices when you can't give details on the diamond quality, size, etc? Asked to speak to the owners and I was told they were off site owners. Lost a possible sale for 2K! Went down the street to Venice Gold Buyers. Much more knowledgable about their jewelry and more reasonably priced too!

Was in earlier today. Took great care of my golf clubs & I. If you’re looking for high end irons stop by.

I was there when they took over. The 1st month. I pawned a chop saw and angle grinder. Only gave me $20. It was all clean. When I picked it up it had saw dust all over it and the saw dust catcher was half full. Some one used it! For remodeling their new establishment. I tried a $400 lap top a month later and only offered $25. They go by e-bay price's not what things are really worth. I went to value pawn off of bee ridge and gave me a substantial greater value. Over $100. Ha! Go if you want antiques. They have to make money somehow.

I bought a pistol online and had it sent there because they a FFL store to do the transfer. They were quick, friendly and I will probably return for another transaction.

Had a Wonderful experience ! The owner, Jeff and his Employee, Charlie, were very professional, knowledgable and just downright nice! All items in the store are very reasonably priced and good quality! My Fiancé surprised me with a very beautiful diamond engagement ring from here! We are definitely returning to buy our wedding rings here! Thank you Jeff!

Went in with 80 oz of silver. And they offered me a an insulting 10 bucks per oz which is half the value of my bullion collection, current spot price as of this review is 22 an ounce… I went down the street to Venice Gold Buyers and they gave me 19 bucks an oz. If you’re looking sell your bullion, stay as far away from this place as possible. They will try and rip you off and make it seem like their offer is what every pawn shop in the area is offering. I’m walking out with 1600 bucks at Venice Gold Buyers when I could’ve been walking out with 800 bucks if I sold to this place. Making profit is one thing, but trying to screw people over is another. Especially when they’d turn around after buying it from you and sell it for over 5 bucks over spot making 15 bucks profit per oz. Again. Stay away.

I moved here from NY and brought way too much stuff! The folks at Loan Star gave me a good price for my extra stuff. Then I bought some beautiful jewelry for wife. The store is clean and beautiful. They are fair and friendly.

Purchased a rifle through gunbroker recently and defaulted ffl transfer to loan star pawn. I’m not sure what happened but somehow the gunbroker vendor messed up so I popped in to see Rick in person and he dropped what he was doing and e-mailed his ffl info to vendor and cleared up the problem. Rick is the nicest guy showing that excellent Customer service still exists ! P.S. Rick has the lowest transfer fees in the Venice area !

Fair price! I had all this extra jewelry that I havent worn in forever, Louie gave me a great price. Really clean store!

Owners are friendly ,courteous and professional,. When selling or pawning your products they always offer the highest dollar amount in town. It you are going pawn shop buying or selling please stop at their shop first !!
